Instruction for Use Quintus reagents Installation Instructions for Quintus Reagents A detailed description of reagent installation / reagent change can be found in the instrument User’s Manual under section 2 Installation Intended use The Boule Quintus Diluent, Lyse and Stopper reagents are intended for use with the Quintus hematology analyzer systems IVD Storage and stability The Boule Quintus reagents are stable at least up until the expiration date as shown on labels when stored at 4 to 35 oC. Instructions 1. For proper performance DO NOT mix Boule reagents with non-Boule products. 2. It is recommended that the Diluent, the Lyse and the Stopper reagents are placed at the instrument level or below. 3. The interlocked reagent system displays indicator and warning messages to alert the operator when reagents are running low and need to be changed. When this occurs perform the following: a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. i. j. k. From the Main menu select [ADVANCED] and then [REAGENTS]. Select [ENTER NEW REAGENT]. Press the text box under the reagent you will scan in (it will highlight in yellow when activated) and then scan in the barcode from the corresponding reagent container. Repeat for all applicable reagents. Press [ENTER NEW REAGENT] to save. Select [EXIT] to return to the Main menu. Remove the cap and seal on the new reagent container. Transfer the reagent level sensor from the used container to the new reagent container. It is important when transferring the reagent tubing that it is kept clean and inserted into the correct reagent container. The analyzer is now ready to resume operation or analyze samples. No priming or fill cycle is necessary when putting on a new reagent container, if indicator and warning messages are followed. Run three (3) BACKGROUND CYCLES to complete the reagent exchange and to check that the background is below the acceptance limit. You can always refer to your Quintus User’s manual for reagent priming or changing. IMPORTANT! Remember to verify calibration prior to running patient samples e.g. using Boule control material.
